I have been searching the web but can't seem to find a clear answer to my question, hence the new thread:

I have a 2009 X5 with the older iDrive and the USB audio interface option. I also have the Technology package. I have a USB port in the center console but don't have (or can't find) a USB port in the glove box. Is there a way to import music on a USB stick to iDrive?

I can play music from a USB stick but have not been able to import music to iDrive. I am confused because according to the owners manual this should be possible (please see attached).
